As a lot of you may know, my first few weeks mining and being a part of this community have been very exciting. I wanted to post something here to thank a few people, and let you know whats been going on since 210000. Thanks Theymos for the great forum title! Thanks Slush for the bonus, and for having a great pool. Thanks for Anonymous donations that were sent my way, whoever you are.
A few articles mentioned my luck that day. I did go out that night and purchase a few lottery tickets, and didn't hit one number.

The best surprise came today. I received a email from Josh over at BFL, informing me that they will be sending me a Jalapeno, for finding block 210000. So thanks Josh, and thanks Butterfly Labs! This was a classy move, and I thought you all should know about it.
